The campaign’s overall target of $30 million is on track, said Poirier, adding it wraps up at the end of March.

“We are flying in our campaign. We’re doing very well,” she said. “We get a shining example of what we can pull off when we all come together, and we have a lot of work to do still.”

In 2011 and 2010, more than $23 million was raised each year by federal public servants, who have been contributing to annual campaigns since 1945.

“They really are amongst the most generous citizens in our community,” said Yeates.

The campaign is the largest workplace charitable campaign in Canada and benefits United Ways across Canada, health partners and more than 80,000 registered charities.

“We definitely have some very generous people here and they always step up for this campaign. They know how important it is for our city, and we still feel that momentum going right now,” said Poirier.
